9 Years post op Revision- Lap Band to RNY

Jan 05, 2018

Hello! I haven’t written here in a long while! Lifeeat got in the way! Eating had got in the way! I will tell everyone, weight loss surgery is NOT A QUICK FIX. You must work at it. I went from 298 to 143 but not right away. I had work to do to get there. Was the best I ever felt I looked! Somehow I ate a little of this, more of that, a cheat here, a chand I was back to 217. Almost in the blink of an eye. I couldn’t believe it. Of course right away I didn’t do anything. In fact, a few years I ignored it. This past summer I started watching a little bit. In October I just started to stop eating when I felt full....easy one would think!  From October 2017 until today, December 5, 2018 I went from 217 to 182. That’s 35 pounds gone! Woooo no one really has noticed which is discouraging but that’s ok. Now I’ve only got 39 pounds to lose to get to 143. I can do it! I’m 5’8 so at 143 I’m between a size 4-6. I’m determined and don’t make it feel like a diet because all diets fail. My heaviest was 298 and lowest was 143 so I had lost 156 which was more than I had weighed! Crazy! I am very proud of my 116 pound loss but will feel amazing when I can put on my 4’s and 6’s! Cheers to motivation!
